In my consulting practice, many customers have asked if application virtualization could reduce software licensing costs, and my answer has always been simple-ask your application vendor.

This can be a very tricky question, and it becomes even more complicated when you start thinking about Microsoft licensing. Before provisioning any application to an AppStack, we need to understand which scenarios are supported or allowed by the application vendor.

This information applies to both View virtual desktops in VMware Horizon 6, and to Citrix XenDesktop virtual desktops.īut we should start at the beginning. We will discuss compatibility and interoperability for different Microsoft Office versions and editions, Office activation, and support for locally installed and AppStack-provisioned Office components, as well as troubleshooting and fine-tuning AppStacks with Office components. In this blog series, we will explain various scenarios using Microsoft Office with VDI, as well as use cases and best practices for deploying Microsoft Office with App Volumes. With dynamic application delivery technologies such as App Volumes and VMware ThinApp, Microsoft Office deployment and compatibility are very important. Microsoft Office applications are often implemented first in VDI installations, both in proofs of concept and in production environments. Microsoft Office is one of the most popular application suites deployed on Windows enterprise desktops.
